Love has never been so dangerous... Or so worth the risk. I know better than to want my boss' daughter. She's the mafia princess. I'm the covert plant in her father's crime ring. Infiltrating his world as head of security was never supposed to make me want something so dangerous it threatens. everything I swore to do. Carra drives me to the point of insanity. Her innocent glances. The sadness in her young eyes from the iron-fisted dominance exerts over all his daughters... Until he trades them in a business deal, that is. Then whatever monster gets the girl, gets to determine her fate. The thought of her broken by some monster makes hate roar though my veins and disgust smash me like a wrecking ball. I can't stand by and watch her be destroyed. But the risks it will take to get her free her will put both our lives at risk. Not a single thing can go wrong. Or we'll both wind up buried and Patrick Coghlan will never be brought to justice. But she's worth everything. Because I can't walk away and leave the one person who makes this revenge driven monster feel alive again. Guarded (Kieran and Carra's story) was formerly the Dark Promises.
